Evaluate the expression:
\$\sqrt4\$ × ( 4 + 3 ) − [ 8 − ( 2 × 3 ) ]

Given expression

\$\sqrt4\$ × ( 4 + 3 ) − [ 8 − ( 2 × 3 ) ]

Evaluate the expression within the parentheses

4 + 3 = 7

Evaluate the expression within the square brackets

\$ 2 \times 3 \$ = 6

Substitute the evaluated expressions back into the original expression

\$ \sqrt4 \times\$ (7) - [ 8 - (6) ]

\$ 2 \times\$ (7) - [ 8 - (6) ]

Evaluate the expression within the square brackets

8 - 6 = 2

Substitute the evaluated expression back into the original expression

\$ 2 \times (7) - 2 \$

Evaluate the multiplication

\$ 2 \times 7\$ = 14

Evaluate the subtraction

14 - 2 = 12

So, the solution to the expression \$\sqrt4\$ × ( 4 + 3 ) − [ 8 − ( 2 × 3 ) ] is 12.

This option suggests that the evaluated expression equals 7. However, when correctly following the order of operations (PEMDAS), the result of the expression is different. So, this option is incorrect

7

This option implies that the evaluated expression equals 9. However, this result is incorrect

9

This option indicates that the evaluated expression equals 12. This is the correct result. Following the order of operations, we find that the expression simplifies to 12

12

This option suggests that the evaluated expression equals 14. However, the correct result of the expression is 12, not 14. Therefore, this option is incorrect

14
